Coaching legend

"Evan, let's see how that young midfielder performed?" George traveled to Germany, the Czech Republic and even the Netherlands, and returned to England after more than ten days. At this time, the English Second Division League is already the last game. As long as this round of games is over, George will officially become the head coach of the Burnley team.

But in the last game, George did not pay attention to the Burnley team. Because only when his name is justified, George will go to the team's veterans and communicate with them. Now George's goal is still to introduce players next season, so he took Evan Sawyer to Gresty Road Stadium to watch an English Second Division game. This was a game between Crewe and Cardiff. The game was relatively close. George pointed out to Evan the young midfielder of the Crewe team.

"A typical English midfielder with average skills but very tough feet. He shoots well and passes well. He should also be able to play the main role in the First Division. Why, George, you like him. But now Crewe There is a chance for promotion, now Crewe is in the top three and can participate in the play-offs." Evan expressed his opinion after watching for a while.

George turned his head and looked at Evan. This kid seemed to have a good way of judging players. I can say so much after just watching one game. "Evan, that's who I'm interested in. His name is Danny Murphy, and he's only eighteen years old this year. I'm more optimistic about him. As long as Crewe fails to upgrade, I'll take action immediately."

In the end, Crewe and Cardiff ended up tied 0-0, but George did not feel impatient. Now is the best opportunity to acquire Murphy and must not be missed. "Evan, let me give you the first task. Contact Danny Murphy's agent. If Crewe is promoted, Burnley will automatically withdraw. Once Crewe fails to be promoted, follow up immediately. What? It is said that Burnley is also a favorite team to be promoted to the second division this season."

Although according to history, Danny Murphy, known as "Manchester United's nemesis", was bought by Liverpool after his outstanding performance in the World Youth Championship. But who knows what will happen now, so a little early exposure to Murphy wouldn't hurt for Burnley. As for contacting players privately, although FIFA does not allow it, the same steps are followed for any club to recruit players. Contact the players first, then the clubs.

"Brother George, where have you been these days? You don't answer my calls either." Miranda took advantage of her break to help her father. Seeing George come in, Miranda curled her lips and was very angry.

George shrugged and said with a smile: "I have been abroad these days, and you also know how expensive international long distance is. I am not yet strong enough to make international long distance calls at will." George has been working at Burnley Club these years. Coaches themselves are not very well paid. In addition, George often spends his own money to understand the situation of clubs in various leagues. So George is really not very rich.

"Tch, you'll make excuses. I don't believe it, you just don't want to talk to me on the phone." Miranda obviously agreed with George's explanation, so she just muttered in a low voice. George looked at Miranda and thought she was very cute, so he gently tapped Miranda on the forehead.

"Little York, when I make a lot of money, I will invite you to travel around the world. Now find me a quieter place, I want to meet an important guest." Although Miranda muttered, she was very well-behaved. He took George to the small box at the back. "Little York, if you see Mitchell King later, bring him here."

Mitchell King is the captain of the Burnley team and is 32 years old this year. He is a native player of Burnley Club. He has been playing for Burnley Club since he was 16 years old. It has been 16 years. When Mitchell King first became a first-team player, Burnley was already playing in the lower leagues. After Mitchell King became the main force of the team, he performed well and some top league teams took a fancy to him, but he has always stayed at the club. It’s been more than ten years in a flash. Burnley is wandering between the second and fourth tiers, and Mitchell King has seen Burnley's decline throughout the process.

Mitchell King has been the team captain since he was 21 years old, and it has been eleven years now. He has a huge influence on the team, and many old players only follow the lead of Mitchell King. Even Jimmy Mullan, the head coach this season, will not offend Mitchell King even though he has been coaching Burnley for four years.

George had just become the team's head coach, and the first thing he had to do was to appease people. After all, George is preparing to carry out major surgery on the team, and many original Burnley players will be purged. Therefore, George needs the support of Mitchell King very much. Another point is that Mitchell King himself is extraordinary. In George's team, Mitchell King is the main central defender. The Burnley team's defense in the First Division this season is still very good.

"Hello, George." George and Mitchell have known each other for five years, and the age difference between them is not very big. So the two of them always spoke very naturally.

"Hello, Mitchell." George smiled and stood up and extended his hand. "You should know why I'm looking for you today."

Mitchell King is a tall man with a height of 1.89 meters and is a black man. Black people are actually different from pure African black people. Most black people in England have white blood. Just like Mitchell King, his skin has a certain brown color.

"I heard, George, you will become the head coach of the team starting next season. First of all, congratulations." Mitchell King smiled widely and congratulated George politely. But Mitchell King was still a little surprised by this result. In Mitchell King's opinion, Burnley's most qualified head coach should be Thompson. It shouldn't be the young George Levy in front of him.

George knew what Mitchell King was thinking at a glance, so he said: "Mitchell, I know you don't trust me very much. After all, I am only twenty-seven years old and have no independent coaching experience. I don't force it either. You believe me, you are the old man of the club, and I believe you have deep feelings for the club. "George's status in the club has always been completely unequal to Mitchell King's status in the club, and Mitchell underestimated it. George was also excusable. George doesn't expect that if he says a few words and exudes a bit of a bastard attitude, Mitchell will want to be George's little brother to the end.

"Although this is my first time coaching, I have signed a two-year contract with the club. And the chairman has promised me that he will not interfere with anything about the team. Therefore, I will definitely change the team according to my ideas. I I hope you can support me, Mitchell. Now we are on the same boat. If the two of us cannot cooperate, the club will only decline more and more. You should know that our family has been Bourne since my grandfather's generation. Leigh fans, my wish as a coach is to lead Burnley back to the damn Premier League." George just analyzed the current situation very rationally and hoped that Mitchell could support him.

After hearing George's words, Mitchell King fell into deep thought. Having known George for five years, Mitchell knew that George looked kind and gentle on the outside, but he was definitely very strong inside. Once he really falls out with George, George will definitely destroy himself. Then both sides will suffer losses. The result is that George's coaching ability is questioned, and Burnley will fall into an impossible situation due to the disagreement between the generals.

"George, if you became the head coach, what would you do with the current players?" Mitchell finally spoke with difficulty.

George did not hesitate and expressed his thoughts directly: "Our team's offense is very problematic, so most of the midfielders and frontcourt players have to flow into the market, leaving only a few people as substitutes. I will play midfielders." I am most satisfied with the defense of Ian Coed. Miller and Grant are the main players in my plan. As for the remaining players, I will either keep them as substitutes or transfer them according to the situation. market."

"Such a big change?" Mitchell King frowned, never expecting George to make such a big change to the lineup. Although Burnley was beaten very poorly in the First Division this season, after all, it was the main lineup that was promoted to the First Division the year before.

George nodded and said: "My goal is not just to be promoted to the second league, I also want to consider what happens after we enter the first league. I don't want our club to be like this after we are promoted to the first league. Relegation again this season. Lifting is not what our club should do. The players in our club are too old. I have to think about the future of the club.”

"George, I can only choose to believe you. Don't worry, as long as you are still the head coach of the team, I will cooperate with your work. But if you lead the team to poor results, I will definitely recommend that the board of directors fire you." Mi Chel King nodded vigorously at the end.

George is very happy because he knows that Mitchell is a very committed person. "Mitchell, we have a great time working together."

"George, no. Boss, we have a great time working together."
